This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 is one of only 1,741 produced with the high-performance LT1 engine option. Mille Miglia Red paint with white LT1 stripes amplifies the aggressive C3 body style. Chrome bumpers bookend the fiberglass shell, while retractable headlights maintain the sleek profile. The 15-inch wheels wear correct-style covers, wrapped in Uniroyal Steel Belted radials - 225/75R15 up front and 225/70R15 in the rear. This combo delivers both vintage looks and modern grip.
Red vinyl adorns the interior, creating a bold cockpit that screams performance. The bucket seats offer firm support, keeping you anchored during hard cornering. A central tunnel divides the cabin, topped by a floor-mounted shifter that falls naturally to hand. The three-spoke steering wheel, a hallmark of early '70s GM design, provides a direct connection to the front wheels. The dashboard houses a classic array of gauges, including a large central tachometer and speedometer, flanked by smaller readouts for fuel, oil pressure, and water temperature. An AM/FM radio sits ready to provide the soundtrack for your drive.
The star of the show is the 350 cubic inch LT1 V8. This high-revving small block churns out 255 horsepower, making it the last of the C3 generation's most potent engines. Power flows through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, creating an engaging connection between driver and machine. The powertrain sits in a chassis featuring independent front suspension, transverse leaf springs in the rear, and disc brakes at all four corners. This setup delivers impressive acceleration and confident handling.
This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 combines raw power, driver engagement, and classic styling. With its numbers-matching 350 LT1 V8, manual transmission, and focused interior, it offers an authentic muscle car experience. Ready for a new garage. Call now!
